That treasured memory blossomed over the years as she sketched her way through high school and continued to teach herself about garment construction, which fed her passion for design, textiles, and style.

Not for Mass Consumption

Not for Mass Consumption

Tired of sifting through magazines only to find predictable ads, lacklustre interviews, and pieces on trite subjects? We are too! New in-house are two noteworthy, independent, rare magazines, Kennedy and Composthailing from Greece and Argentina respectively. Devoid of ads, we love their hybrid art-book nature with informative, aesthetically fresh content that is anything but banal.

Laura Siegel makes herself Traceable

Traceable is a documentary directed by Jennifer K. Sharpe. It focuses on how luxury goods are made, where they come from, and the impact they have on developing communities. Sharpe quotes “Noticing the trend in labelling clothing as “sustainable” while witnessing a departure of manufacturing and production in the apparel industry in North America, was the beginning of my impetus for Traceable.

Introducing... Diarte from Spain

Introducing... Diarte from Spain

Looking forward to shed some layers soon? Winter this year has been quite dreadful all cross the northern hemisphere. We are dreaming about that first glorious day of spring, breathing in the crisp, clean air, wearing fresh SS15 outfits by Diarte — a contemporary, fun and youthful label from Spain.
